A question regarding Gelats.
 

Hi, Am I not allowed to trade gelats with other players?
I see an option to ask someone to buy a gelats for you.
But I can't give gelats to other players from what I already have.

They used to have a "games" server were you could wager gelats at the cost of I think 5 gelats per wager, you used to just be able to lose the games on purpose to act as a "trade", but that's gone now.

s+a in login

ooo any reasons?

i smell some troll

why it's gone?


because the man didn't want us sharing the wealth by trading gelats in the first place

i don't understand this.
You can share your wealth IN the server like you can trade gralats and items, but why is the global currency (gelat) trade is not allowed?

well I'm not saying that I agree with it

eh i could careless but yea

...so you care.

cry kid

haha! Good one sir, I was thinking the same thing.

lel :D:D:D:D:D

This could be a cool feature if gelats were to play a more involved role in Graal.

Aren't gelats totally useless now?

Not when you have to buy your membership.

But membership is free now

Arent those cards still around? Not that you could buypass it all or make up your own better ones....

Yeah you can still buy them for stupid prices.

I honestly hope to see Gelats used on more servers in the future. Microtransactions are a good way to get your server paid for each year, and help out the game as a whole.

GK, Zone, and Zodiac have all made good use of them.

I don't think Zone made good use seeing as it's not around any more... >_>
Although I know Era probably has with the potions.
I buy/sell them in game a lot, it's fun having a monopoly.

era has made $43

what about community names and forum access?

I have nothing but my regrets




and my rep

and my axe

If more than one person is capable of obtaining and selling the potions, you do not have a monopoly. :asleep:

I don't know, many people don't buy potions.

Dunno, been the only person selling them in the mall for a while now, it's nice making 400k per day.
Plus I get death threats all the time, it's kinda strange.

You just send them to me, I'll handle them.

I asked about this a few years ago, actually, and the response I got from Stefan was basically it isn't a feature because of cross server trading/USDing. It brought issues with scamming and players just buying items from other servers with USD (in the form of gelats).

That's basically what Gelats are. They are meant for microtransactions, and can actually be good for Graal as a whole.

Also, it's easy enough to write up a rule or disclaimer stating that if you engage in cross-server trading, nobody will reimburse you for taking that risk.

Yeah, we were having multiple issues with players being scammed and complaining about getting their gelats stolen when trying to make a trade. Basically players trying to trade gold for in-game items and it resulted in a bunch of complaints.

I was told anything involving gelat trading was illegal and I was supposed to punish the players accordingly, which I didn't mind especially if it stopped the complaining. Was all at their risk.
